Meet the Reapers, a faction of marksmen in XCOM 2: War of the Chosen for macOS and Linux

24 October 2017

War of the Chosen introduces three factions, pockets of resistance against the alien threat. The factions are unaffiliated with XCOM, so you must win them over to recruit their powerful soldiers.

The Reapers are a scrappy group of human loyalists who live on the fringes of society.

A Reaper unit is an infiltration specialist and stealth marksman. With “Shadow”, its enhanced Concealment mode, the Reaper has greater mobility options than most XCOM soldiers.

Reapers use the powerful Vektor rifle and a special explosive called a Claymore – a targetable incendiary device that can be used in Concealment. The most skilled Reapers can attach Claymores to enemy units, turning them into walking bombs.

Buy XCOM 2: War of the Chosen from the Feral Store to encounter the Reapers.
